The
Independent Charities Seal of Excellence is awarded to the members
of Independent Charities of America and Local Independent
Charities of America that have, upon rigorous independent review,
been able to certify, document, and demonstrate on an annual basis
that they meet the highest standards of public accountability,
program effectiveness, and cost effectiveness. These standards
include those required by the US Government for inclusion in the
Combined Federal Campaign, probably the most exclusive fund drive in
the world. Of the 1,000,000 charities operating in the United
States today, it is estimated that fewer than 50,000, or 5 percent,
meet or exceed these standards, and, of those, fewer than 2,000 have
been awarded this
Seal.
